Note that slipstream is disabled in Daily Race B and C for the game, especially in the race settings. In reality, its enabled but is less strong than in “custom”

Are old gr3 Ford GTs after bop garbage? I have been playing human comedy and wanted to finish with style with GT4s white Ford GT and it was really bad in speed and handling.

yep seems their BoP has become unnecessarily aggressive. They already weren’t terribly competitive in the first place…
Just raced at Deep Forest with the GT LM Race Car, got punted turn 1, spun around and despite consistently driving faster laps it was lagging behind everyone more and more because it’s just not fast on the straights and handling is even worse.

Black one feels faster but still you would expect good handling and high top speed and maybe poor fuel economy. Back to M3 I guess.

Race B is a tad fun at least. All those laps grinding WTC 800 are finally paying off in another way.
